This dude....lol. Although I'm positive that not all the original colorways of the XII's had Zoom Air. I believe it was only the last 2 colorways released (black/reds and black/whites). I remember the price jumping from $135 to $140 and that was the reason behind it.

OG Taxis and White reds BOTH had zoom. I have the dissection to prove it.

I work at finishline and we had a meeting with a Nike representative and she said AJVII was the 1st jordan model to have Zoom Air instead of Nike Air, thats why its so lightweight. So if the OG had Zoom Air; the Retros will have Zoom Air inside the midsole. Not a Nike Air.

You AND him have no idea what you are talking about.

"Double heel"

Unless one of them had full-length double-zoom... Does such a shoe even exist?

"Nope"

Why would JB go from Full Zoom with the 12s to just heel and forefoot zoom in later shoes?

"For foot transition. There truly isnt a need for cushioning under the arch"

For the shoes with zoom only in the heel and forefoot, what cushioning is used in between (if any)?

"Nothing. Just the shank and phylon"

On another note, I think the shoes with IPS would have been better off if each individual IPS pod was reinforced with zoom or Nike Air.

"Jordan 22 and 23 (somewhat)"

To anyone that can elaborate on any one of these questions, thanks!

"Quite welcome

All XII´s have zoom from OG´s to Retro.From AJ1 to AJ10 all have an encapsulated air sole..AJ XII was the first to use zoom..then XIII thru XV use zoom as well..AJ XVI uses air in back and zoom in front.XVII tuned air..XVIII and XIX double zoom in back zoom in front..XX IPS with encapsulated air in rear IPS pod..XXI IPS with interchangeable heel air/zoom pods..XXII IPS with encapsulated air in forefoot IPS pod and interchangeable heel air/double zoom pods.XXIII full zoom with IPS.XXIV zoom in front and back..XXV full length bottom loaded zoom.
Bottom loaded is just zoom placed closer to the ground than under your foot.Double zoom stacked is two zoom bags placed in the heel.XX´s featured an air bag inside the heel IPS pod.XXII´s had an air bag on top of the main IPS pod underneath the ball of your foot.Tuned air is just a stiffer air bag(with more air than a normal bag).
